What is the sound when you put a shell to your ear?
Some people believe that the sound you hear when putting a seashell to your ear is that of your blood rushing though the blood vessels in the ear, but that is not true. It is the ambient noise that’s produced when the air entering the seashell bounces about in the hollow cavity of the seashell.
How does Shankh produce sound?
Air is blown with very high pressure through the outer hole and passes through a tiny hole inside the Shankh. The air resonates through the inner wall of the Shankh and the sound is produced when air passes through the lower opening.

Why is conch blown?
The vibrations it produces purify the air and is believed to destroy the disease-causing germs in the atmosphere. When the Conch is blown, energy is emitted from it, which reduces the strength of distressing frequencies. The blowing of the Conch works on the thyroid, muscles of the neck and the vocal cords too.
Can all conch shells be blown?
The shells of large marine gastropods are blown into as if it were a trumpet, as in blowing horn. A completely unmodified conch may be used, or a mouth hole may be created. A tone hole may be added to change the fundamental frequency but globally this is extremely rare, thus most conches are natural horns.
Can you hear the ocean in a conch shell?
As lovely as that concept might be, though, it’s only a metaphor: When you listen to a shell, you’re not really hearing the sound of the ocean. The shape of seashells just happens to make them great amplifiers of ambient noise. The resonating air produces sound. The pitch of the sound depends on the size of the shell.
